A crystal clear message and post you just shared with the house dear friend.
One thing to focus on before admitting to find change is the renewal of the mind. The mindset needs to undergo a total renewal or service to actually find oath through the ways of life to achieve the aim of change. To gain the change we need, there must be a presence of belief and self reliance and comfort... Knowing that you're a preacher of the word, it gives me jy to see tht you have changed and touched so many lives from the things you do where you have been strengthened by the creator.. as inhabitants of the earth we need to have value for our planet as it is one of the gift God gave to us... It is also a good thing to observe that faith has a great effect, positively on your life and the people around. .. you're also right when you said that for others to change, w need to change so as for them to imitate our actions for better developments..
Thanks for sharing and good luck with the challenge....
